Lyne directs the love scenes with a sense of purpose, he doesn't shoot the sex just for sex sake. He gives it a humanity and an uncomfortable feeling that would go hand in hand with the unfaithfulness.

The male given name Adrian is derived from the Latin Hadrianus, which is more familiar to English speakers as Hadrian. The name means "from Adria", a port on the Adriatic Sea. Adrian was the name of several early Christian saints and martyrs. The name is connected to the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Great Britain, becoming widely known in England in the twelfth century, when Nicholas Breakespear took it as his regnal name when he became the first and only English pope, Adrian IV.

In 1986, Lyne attracted controversy with 9 1/2 Weeks. Based on a novel by Elizabeth McNeill, the tale of asexually-obsessive relationship starred Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Although considered too explicit by its American distributor, and cut for U.S. release, it became a huge hit abroad in its unedited version.

Lyne ... acts as a kind of cheerleader for his stars. "If they are making out and I see something I like, I'll say, 'That's good, do it again.' I see their confidence rising."
